7. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in
- Remember your preferences
- Analyze site usage
How you found us. Our website keeps one cookie of its own, ence_src, that records how you first reached us (for example a search engine, an ad, an AI assistant or another website) and the page you landed on. It stays in your browser for 180 days, it is never sent to Google or anyone else, and we read it only when you send us a message through our contact form, so we can see which pages and campaigns help people find us. Because it is our own record and goes nowhere, it is set without asking; you can delete it in your browser at any time.
Analytics, only if you agree. When you first visit, we ask whether we may use Google Analytics to see how the site is used. Nothing is loaded from Google until you choose Accept. If you choose Decline, no analytics cookies are set and any Google Analytics cookies already on octosqueeze.com are removed. We never use advertising cookies. Your answer is kept in one cookie of ours, osq_cookie_consent, for 180 days, on octosqueeze.com and its subdomains, so you are asked once. You can change your answer at any time with the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
8. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
